Abstract

In terms of today's findings, the oldest materials presenting a systematic afterlife exist in Zoroastrianism. The afterlife is shaped by what people do in this world and it includes reward and punishment post world life. Ethereal award is decorated with the most beautiful food and tastes in accordance with the life of the period. On the contrary, the punishment was conceived as being exposed to all kinds of torture and torment. Zoroastrian dualism, which was developed in later religious texts based on the implication of the oldest sacred texts of Zoroastrianism, gives direction to the beliefs and doctrines of the Hereafter. The Zoroastrian sacred texts envisioned a material hashr, heaven and hell as a matter not seen in previous beliefs. In our study, besides the oldest written sources, the most recent sources that can be considered sacred are also taken into consideration and the issues based on belief in the Hereafter in these sources are classified as subject-based.

Özet

Günümüz bulguları açısından değerlendirildiğinde sistematik bir ahiret hayatı sunan en eski materyaller Zerdüştîlik içerisinde bulunmaktadır. Söz konusu ahiret hayatı insanın bu dünyada yaptıkları ile şekillenmekte ve dünya hayatı sonrası ödül ve ceza içermektedir. Uhrevi ödül, dönemin yaşayışına uygun olarak, en güzel yiyecekler ve zevkler ile bezenmiştir. Ceza ise bunun aksine türlü işkence ve eziyetlere maruz kalma olarak tasavvur edilmiştir. Zerdüştîliğin en eski kutsal metinlerindeki îmalara dayanarak daha sonraki dinî metinler içerisinde geliştirilen Zerdüştî düalizmi de ahiret inancına ve doktrinlerine yön vermektedir. Zerdüştî kutsal metinleri daha önceki inançlarda görülmeyen bir husus olarak cismanî bir haşir, cennet ve cehennem tahayyül etmiştir. Çalışmamızda günümüze ulaşan en eski yazılı kaynakların yanı sıra kutsal olarak değerlendirilebilecek en son kaynaklar da dikkate alınmakta ve bu kaynaklardaki ahiret inancına dayalı hususlar konu bazlı tasnif edilerek aktarılmaktadır.
